Very moving speech by Rami Malek!

 

[TonyD]

Well I am really stupid. I thought Rami was gay.
His wife/Girlfriend is gorgeous


I don’t think it’s a surprise that he won.

 

[holtge]

Congrats Rami!

With 3 to go, I’m 18 out of 21. But these last 3 are some of the toughest of the night. Too many good films.

Back from last year's Billboards!!!! Gaga...or Glenn!!!!????

 

[Tina_H_V]

WTF!!!!!????? Well...she was awesome in The Favorite!!!!!

Makes you wonder where we really all go from here!!!!!

 

[holtge]

Wait?! The Academy thinks Olivia Colman's performance in "The Favourite" was better than Glenn Close's or Lady Gaga's? What is going on??? Granted, her performance was amazing, but was it really that much better than the other two? I'm stunned!

 

[Malcolm R]

In Entertainment Weekly's survey of anonymous Oscar voters I linked a few days ago, 3 of the 6 voters they polled said they were voting for Colman for Actress, so it's not a complete surprise. She seemed to have a lot of support.

This is, no doubt, the big surprise of the evening. Olivia was the last one I'd thought would win.

 

[TonyD]

Holy cow. That super white Verizon commercial almost blew out my retinas.

 

[Tina_H_V]

Will Spike do it again!!!??? We will all find out!!!

 

[Tina_H_V]

Alfonso Cuaron does it again!!!! Will he make history in a few minutes!!!???

 

[holtge]

On a positive note, the Oscars are only running a few minutes longer than their three-hour goal. Maybe going without a host this year was a good idea after all.

 

[Tony Bensley]

And GREENBOOK gets it.

[Wayne_j]

Yup, after all the plans to make the show shorter they cancel all those plans and still end up with one of the shortest broadcasts in recent history.

 

[Tina_H_V]

And this concludes another Oscar ceremony!!! At least...FWIW...this one ends before 8:30 p.m. P.S.T.!!!! To the victors go the spoils!!!!
